Diesel

This was my second time there. I really like this bar. for those who were complaining of the weird mix, welcome to the new Gay World

Another visit here, this time on a Thursday. It’s not busy but what struck me is all the straight people, including the bartenders. If you want to market as a gay bar with giant rainbow lighting all over the building then you need to maybe attract a gay crowd. Buying drinks from a bro isn’t a turn on – it’s annoying. As for the crowd – fag hags are great. I just wish they’d brought their fags with em.

I am a regular in boystown and love the gay scene so I decided to try it out in Peoria. I am hugely disappointed. The crowd there was just odd. A mix of gays boys, lesbians, and straight people so that was cool. They were playing some strange movie on the video screens during the drag show. It had some sort of raunchy rape scenes going on… def not appropriate. The drag queens were pretty awful and not impressive. Overall the vibe was just uncomfortable and weird. We hung out for a while and just could not get into it.

This really isn’t my sort of scene, and it’s normally too crowded for me to have any desire to be inside. I only go here by force. The last time I went, a couple tried to pick me up, which was really awkward for everyone involved. My cousin (who is gay) tells me this is a swingers bar.
I’m giving them 2 stars because they have pretty flashing lights and occasionally pretty people. They also play music videos on their big screen to keep me entertained, rather than entirely focused on counting down until I can leave.
The one awesome thing I think of when I think of Diesel is that they really mean it when they say «you call it.» You can call anything, not just well drinks, and still pay that price.

Diesel is a gay bar in downtown Peoria that is open 10pm to 4am Monday thru Sunday. I couldn’t find a phone number for the place but I swear it’s a real business and they do have a phone there. There is also a ATM, poles to dance on, and a nice patio in the back for smoking. I really enjoy this gay bar and try to visit each time I go down to Peoria. Even if you’re not gay, I recommend that you give it a try because the people are very friendly and keep even me coming back for more. It is so fun to dance there and chat at the bar with new people.
